Get the lowest price and free shipping on the Shure SM-58 Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone at Sam Ash Direct.

The Shure SM58 is the leading professional microphone of all time. Chances are you have either used an SM58 or have been told that this is the microphone to buy. With excellent feedback rejection, the SM58 is a great all around microphone for live performance, although it really shines as a mic for vocals. The SM58 is also at home in the recording studio (the SM actually stands for Studio Microphone).

The Shure SM58 is the swiss-army knife of microphones. Although designed for vocals, its clean, natural tone can be useful for a variety of miking needs. It's legendary ruggedness and reliable performance has placed it on the short list of "must have" microphones for all musicians. It's known to have an "easy-to-mix" tonal characteristic with a slight mid-range boost and bass rolloff, emphasizing the clarity of the vocal mids. Nothing fancy, just one of the first indespensible recording/performing tools for your arsenal.

I've tried some pretty prestigious brands including AudioTechinica and Behr. My 58 is #1 for live and studio vocal. I don't record with it, for that, I like a big condenser mic, but these are the best for PA use. They don't feed back easily, they have nice sound shaping for vocals and they can be used close up or a few inches away. They're about perfect...and a real bargain. There are so many pricey mics out there. These are the ones you'll find at every club and on every band's mic stands.

The Shure SM 58 is hands down the best microphone for lower tone vocals, (Extreme Metal or Baritone voices) It is extremely durable and a great choice for any musician. It also works great for any live speaking, (comedians, schools, events)

Shure's SM58 is the most popular handheld vocal microphone and for good reason. They continue to deliver the sonic quality that musicians have become familiar with while delivering the durability needed to be used in club and bar gigs night after night. I won't go to a gig without an SM58.
